As the basis of WP2, 3, 4 and 5, WP1 will create a solid foundation for
implementation of High-Tech EcoCity in China. In WP1, a technology database
will be constructed to facilitate the state of the art and research and
development challenges of the High-Tech EcoCity technologies and procedures.
An inventory analysis of technologies in China and in Finland will be carried
out with Chinese partners. Different level of technology and current
operational models will be analysed by visiting companies and construction
sites. Competence topics of WP1 include: Thermal Comfort & IAQ, Building
Physics, Building climate, Eco targets, simulation and LCA (decision support),
Building Automation & BIM in processes, Energy Audit and Management Procedures
and Standard Development. Figure (open
here) shows the main inventory for EcoCity/village, which includes
community for users, sustainable buildings, sustainable building technologies,
infrastructure, transport, education and tools.

Results:

Specified short-medium-long -term scientific research agenda for joint
activities between VTT and Chinese partners meeting the needs of joint
industrial clusters will be developed during the period of WP1. An informative
technology database will be constructed with comprehensive analysis of
applicability of various Finnish products in Chinese market in line with the
implementation of the concept of High-Tech EcoCity.
